"NOTE: Due to extensive residence hall renovations beginning in the summer 2013, on campus housing will only be provided for W&L undergraduate students. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate law students until renovation projects conclude in the late summer of 2015."

Saw it on the Law Student Housing tab on the main university page and it caught my eye. Any current W&L students care to point some of us that live out of state in the direction of finding housing? I looked at craigslist but the closest I can find is Roanoke.

Trust me you dont want to live in the student housing anyways...on the roanoake craigslist go to the housing section and type in lexington in the search bar...i found my house on craigslist and i love it...there is also a link on the w&L admitted student website about housing http://law.wlu.edu/admissions/page.asp? ... 494...this has links to all the local realtors website and contact info...I would definately call them because they dont have a full listing of property available on the websites most of the time...also its a little early to find most places as the current students probably havent given a notice of whether they are moving out or not yet...Around Feb and March are when most places start opening up..so you have some time

Second this, the student housing for law students was depressing as fuck anyway. Don't stress about it too much, apartments won't start opening up for a couple months anyway, and you can usually find decent stuff right up until orientation. I know waitlisters who got decent apartments.

If you can, go down in person because a lot of the apartments are converted houses/independent landlord type things. But Emily Reel is pretty popular as far as rental agents go and usually has a decent inventory.

There are a few apartment complexes around. Generals Retreat is close to the school and decent, but a bit pricey for the size. Magnolia Square is a bit out of town (still like a 5ish min drive though), and about as ritzy as Lexington Apartments get. A bit farther out by the Walmart there are some nice townhouses you can rent. Also, Borden Commons is really close to the law school, and you can usually find a few condos that are for rent there.

just got my scholarship in the mail as well. 40K for the first year guaranteed, renewed for the next years if i maintain a 3.25 which they claim 60% of the class will get. Was hoping for a more stable scholly without stipulations....just makes the risk of attending that much greater

Hey, First congrats on the huge scholly, in regards to the stip i wouldnt really worry about it at W&L they have a policy of trying hartd not to reduce peoples scholarship ( i think this is posted on the website and they will tell you this during asw and orientation if you decide to attend) if you fall below the stipuated GPA they will call you into the deans office adn talk to you about what happened...as along as you can show them that you really tried and put in the effort and werent out partying every night and what not they will leave your scholasrhip alone...in the past three years only 18 scholarships have been reduced and 1 person has had their it completely revoked
